Question 1

hi i am currently feeling like if i have something stuck in my chest and it feels really cold it hurts a lot.

Accepted Answer

IcePickToTheHeart?: Live in Alaska? Swallow an ice cube? Huffing nitrous? I guess not. If it hurts that bad go get it checked out. Maybe a chest x-ray is in order. It usually turns out to be nothing (maybe a muscle spasm, or mild inflammation) but then again it could be something more serious, so why take a chance unless you are feeling better?

Question 2

feeling like something has stuck in my chest which makes it difficult to belch means what?

Accepted Answer

Possible blockage: The possibilities here are
1. Esophageal spasm - particularly if symptoms are intermittent.
2. Esophageal stricture
3. Most likely, hiatal hernia.
Diagnosis can be made by UGI xray and/or UGI endoscopy with manometric (pressure) studies.
4.If symptoms are related to food intake try eating more slowly.

Question 3

for the past 2 weeks, i've often been getting a feeling like i have something stuck in my chest after eating. i burp a lot to make it go away, but it's still there. it usually goes away on its own after 1hr. it happens often. what can it be? cancer?

Accepted Answer

Get Checked: You are very young for cancer, but clearly something is wrong.  Please get checked by you physician.  Don't wait!
You might try drinking water after eating to see if that flushes it all down!

Question 4

feeling tightness in chest and like something is stuck in throat. will be relieved sometimes by burp or goes away on its own. been sev. months now.

Accepted Answer

You need to see: Your doctor. You may have narrowing of your esophagus, or other obstruction. This can be very uncomfortable and even dangerous, but can usually be easily treated with an outpatient procedure. Take care.

Question 5

i have for the last 2 days experiencing tightness in chest, very bad headaches, feels like something is stuck in my throat, constipation. i have been drinking lots of water and taking antacids without feeling any better ?

Accepted Answer

Pulmonary emboli: Birth control pill can be associated with thromboembolic disease. I think you should go to the ER and check you out.

Question 6

31 m - 1 year wors symptoms. not anxie or depress. chest full feeling like something stuck my throat and chest. feel a weak and faint heart beat. breathless. cnt feel heart hitting hard in my chest at pace. lung / heart/ hema doc all normal.see chart?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: These symptoms are most compatible with chronic stress and anxiety with over awareness of heart beat and nonexertional chest distress. I recommend that you have a treadmill stress test and an outpatient heart monitor for 24-48 hours writing down the time and nature of symptoms. In this way you'll be able to rule out a cardiac cause of symptoms. Stress management therapy and reassurance will help.

Question 7

im 4 weeks post op from bilat arthroplasty for my jaw and ive begun experiencing severe chest pain, nausea, and the feeling that something is stuck in my chest. my resting hr has also been on the higher end. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: You should be assessed at an emergency department. Sometimes after surgery you can get a pulmonary embolism that can give those symptoms and it is serious so best to be assessed to see what the problem actually is.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Palpitations: Please see a doctor, get a cardiogram done. Also try limiting your caffeine intake.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Need more info: A proper evaluation would require a more detailed history, physical examination and may be imaging study. It would be prudent to see your doctor.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Not Clear: I am sorry but there is nothing on which to give you any kind of medical opinion. Can you give us more specifics or history?
